ground clearance

Am renting a garage in preparation for my imminent acquisition

but saw the garage yesterday and there's a bit of a slope to the road. Am a bit concerned that i right have to come up with some creative ways of avoiding any possible bumper scraping...

Anyone have any issues with speed bumps? I'm talking the badass concrete island types as there are a lot of these in my neck of the woods in London.

I reckon you should be fine on standard suspension. I've had mine on and off ferries without any issues, as long as you go slowly with it

As a frequent visitor to the Smoke for work, I'd be more concerned about the effin curbs!

I was over cautious to begin with. It's fine, but I go over speed bumps at less than walking pace, not because of splitters, but subframe.

Where about are you ?

Glad splitters should be OK, will still probably be crawling over bumps. Didn't know that it can be a subframe issue too! Am in e9

Yanto - didn't think my insurance quote was too bad (even though CCI rejected me for being a youngster) - about 500. Will try to make it down on 17th (hopefully car will have arrived by then!)
